Even though 2016 was highly dominated by Superhero and fantasy flicks like Captain America: Civil War, Batman vs Superman, Deadpool, Doctor Strange and Fantastic Beasts, classics like La La Land and Manchester by the Sea made their presence felt getting love from both critics and viewers. Mel Gibson’s comeback indie film Hacksaw Ridge also earned a nomination in for the best film.

Out of the nine films nominated in the best picture category, La La Land is certainly the front-runner with 14 nominations to its name but Oscars are always full of surprises. In the best actor category, there is a direct competition between Ryan Gosling and Casey Affleck. Thet both were so brilliant in their respective roles that even Andrew Garfield was shocked to hear about his nomination. Veteran, Denzel Washington also earned a nomination this year for his brilliant performance in Fences. In the leading actress category Meryl Streep earned a record 21st Oscar nomination and if she goes on to win that trophy, you can expect a lot of Donald Trump remarks on stage.
